lyrics

“Are you the same girl
Who’s framed inside all my picture slides?”
“Yes, I’m the same, and I’m promising
That bedded don’t mean wedded, if you want me.”

“So are you saying that you
Have held out for me somehow?”
“Well, ‘holding out’ and ‘holding out hope’
Are close enough for us just now.”

“No – you’ve aged quite faster
Than I’d like to say.
And now it seems I’ve sold my dreams
To an antiquated age.”

“A thirty year-old schoolgirl stops
Dreaming the day she turns twenty.”
“Then that is why I’d not recognize
You from a girl past forty-three.”

“If you’d aged more slowly
My fondness would remain.
And now it seems that all my dreams
Are simply out-of-date.”

“If you’d aged more slowly
My fondness would remain.
And now it seems that all my dreams
Are simply out-of-date.”
